Ten mature rams were used and allocated to two groups balanced for body weight. Control (C) rams had free access to drinking water, while water\u2010restricted rams (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">WD<\/jats:styled-content>) were deprived from water for 3 consecutive days and early on the morning of day 4, they had <jats:italic>ad\u00a0libitum<\/jats:italic> access to water for 24\u00a0h, similar to C animals. The experiment lasted 32\u00a0days, that is eight 4\u2010day cycles of water deprivation and subsequent watering. Feed and water intake were significantly affected by water deprivation; in comparison with C rams, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">WD<\/jats:styled-content> rams reduced their feed intake by 18%. During the watering day of the deprivation cycle, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">WD<\/jats:styled-content> rams consumed more water than C rams on the same day (11.8 (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a03.37) and 8.4 (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content>\u00a0=\u00a01.92) l respectively; p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). Glucose, total protein and creatinine were increased as a result of water deprivation. However, testosterone levels were lowered as a result of water deprivation and average values were 10.9 and 6.2 (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SEM<\/jats:styled-content> 1.23)\u00a0ng\/ml for C and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">WD<\/jats:styled-content> rams respectively (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). Semen traits were less affected by treatment; <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">WD<\/jats:styled-content> rams consistently had superior sperm concentrations than C animals; and statistical significances were reached in cycles 5 and 8 of water deprivation. Several mating behaviour traits were modified as a result of water deprivation. When compared to controls, <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">WD<\/jats:styled-content> rams had a more prolonged time to first mount attempt (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), their frequency of mount attempts decreased [6.8 vs. 5.2 (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SEM<\/jats:styled-content> 0.1); p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001] and their flehmen reaction intensity was negatively affected (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). Water deprivation may have practical implications reducing the libido and therefore the serving capacity of rams under field conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpn.12340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,28]],"date-time":"2015-04-28T06:48:00Z","timestamp":1430203680000},"page":"85-92","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Recurrent 3\u2010day cycles of water deprivation for over a month depress mating behaviour but not semen characteristics of adult rams"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"100","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"Khnissi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire des Productions Animales et Fourrag\u00e8res Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique de Tunisie Ariana Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Lassoued","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire des Productions Animales et Fourrag\u00e8res Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique de Tunisie Ariana Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Rekik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"H.","family":"Ben Salem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) Amman Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Abdel\u2010Hafez M.
